Changing Component Properties After Placement

Properties of a component can be changed while placing it, or after it is placed in the drawing area.

To change the properties of an object that is already placed in your drawing, select it, and then a green properties box with various available options appears.

In some properties boxes, you enter the information directly into the active fields. In others, you only need you to select a predefined value:

Enter values using the keyboard.

Move between different levels (Width, Height,etc.) using the Tab key. To step up a level, press Shift + Tab.
